in which it's not really kid-parent music, but could be, if you so choose

so, when i first heard this song, i sort of did a double take. is it kid-parent music? you know - the kind indie bands make to ensure parents don't rip hair or gouge eyes out when humoring their kids by playing child friendly (i'm looking at you, laurie berkner) songs. i like this kind of music - well, i prefer just letting my boys listen to regular music (since they like it, too), but if i have to listen to kid music, i'll go for the kid-parent kind.

(back to the song) i was like, whoa - pretty cool that fujiya & miyagi are doing this! because if you casually listen to the lyrics, they get into the whole "leg bone connected to the hip bone, hip bone connected to the..." well, you know what i mean. but of course, this is not kid-parent music, unless you want it to be (and i do, because they already like this one). i will conveniently ignore what's really being said here when my kids inevitably ask what it's about.

here are the lyrics so you can see how i initially made my mistake:

first time her collarbone tripped over my shoelaces
over my shoelaces, yeah, over my shoelaces

got to get a new pair of shoes
to kick it with her, not kick it with you

second time her collarbone tripped over my shoelaces
yeah, 100 meter races, yeah, 100 metered race

got to get a new pair of shoes
to kick it with her, not kick it with you
(sock it to me)
got to get a new pair of shoes
to kick it with her, not kick it with you

what she gonna do with a fool like you?
what she gonna
what she gonna do with a fool like you?
what she gonna

sock it to me, ah!

toe bone connected to the ankle bone
ankle bone connected to the shin bone
shin bone connected to the knee bone
knee bone connected to the thigh bone
thigh bone connected to the hip bone
hip bone connected to the back bone
back bone connected to the collarbone
collarbone connected to the neck bone
neck bone connected to the head bone
head bone connected to the neck bone
neck bone connected to the collarbone
collarbone connected to the back bone
back bone connected to the hip bone
hip bone connected to the thigh bone
thigh bone connected to the knee bone
knee bone connected to the shin bone
shin bone connected to the knee bone
ankle bone connected to the shin bone
toe bone connected to the ankle bone
ankle bone connected to the shin bone
shin bone connected to the knee bone
knee bone connected to the thigh bone
thigh bone connected to the hip bone
hip bone connected to the back bone
back bone connected to the collarbone

got to get a new pair of shoes
to kick it with her, not kick it with you
(sock it to me, ah)

what she gonna do with a fool like you?
what she gonna
what she gonna do with a fool like you?
what she gonna

sock it to me, ah!

uh, sock it to me, ah

totally addictive song. give fujiya & miyagi a try - they've got some pretty great beats.
